As I've said before (or maybe I haven't; I could've sworn I posted this hunk before but can't find any record of it), Tom Welling did nothing for me during his Smallville days (although I did watch now and again). But after his season-long appearance in Lucifer, now…"I'm not sure I can get in that position SIR, but if that's what you desire I will certainly try!"
Maybe it's the scruff and the bit of weight he's put on?
We love this guy. We loved him on Lucifer and miss him. Hope he comes back.
